So here we are back at it again, but this time everything is all set up and I have everything that I need (for the most part) so let's get this party started. I probably should have started this journal when I first popped the seeds but was high and lazy, but now we are about a month into veg and the girls seem to be happy but with some issues. Before we get to that let's get the important stuff out of the way first.

Now for a brief history of the girls. I started germinating the seeds on 5/21 and the next day they popped and started showing tap root. So I then put them into the rockwool cubes ph'ed to 5.5 and put them into their 5 gal buckets. I know most will say to start in small containers and transplant to larger ones but from what I understand the girls do not like to be transplanted and I am not comfortable with it so straight into their permanent home they go. Anyway, a few days after going into the buckets they sprouted, and at this time I had the light set on a 24-0 cycle at 50% power and a bit further away than they should be to allow the girls to get used to the intense light. After a few days I readjusted the lights and set them on 18-6 cycle at full power. I hand watered them up until about a 1 1/2 weeks ago when the roots finally reached the res water. About a week ago I attempted supercroping and one plant liked it and gave me another off-shoot. The other one not so much. Then yesterday I topped the good plant.
As for the issues that I was referring to earlier, about 2 1/2 weeks ago I noticed a small brown spot on one of the early fan leaves with some slight yellowing around it. Then, I noticed that the leaves were starting to look wrinkled starting in the center going outwards. Also the other day I the the leaves look like they have been partially eaten but I cannot find any signs of pests. Well so much for being brief lol, anyway will throw up some pics.
